Next to the Hanoverian stallions Agram and Ferdinand, the Anglo-Arabian grey Ramzes x belongs to the triumvirate of German procreators of sports horses following the Second World War. He was homozygotic i.e. his progeny were all greys. The biological phenomenon of homozygoticness arises in the crossing of two heterozygous greys to a probability factor of 25 percent. Apart from Ramzes x, other homozygotic greys also became well-known in different German warm blood breeds, including Capitano, Gardehusar, Godehard, Gold Dollar, Kontakt and More Magie xx. Ramzes x was born in Poland in 1937 and in 1948 became the property of Clemens Freiherr von Nagel. He initially placed him at the disposal of the later trainer of the federal German showjumper riders Hans-Heinrich “Micky“ Brinkmann as a showjumper, but parallel to this also utilised him for breeding at his studfarm Vornholz. Even today, Vornholz is still the most significant breeding centre of Germany even though it ceased to exist in 1978. Numerous Olympic horses were born there. Without Ramzes x, German warm blood breeding would not be what it is today. In 1951 and 1952 Ramzes x covered at the Holstein state stud of Neuendorf as a leased stallion, where he sired such excellent horses as Retina / Fritz Thiedemann, Romanus / Hans Günther Winkler and Ramona / Alwin Schockemöhle. These three horses were the foundation of Ramzes x ‘s fame in Holstein and were the impetus for a further two covering seasons in Neuendorf in 1959 and 1960. He again procreated high class showjumpers, as well as a number of approved sons and outstanding broodmares, of whom Vase, the full-sister of the aforementioned Romanus was probably the most significant. Her blood is pulsating in numerous Holstein horses today. The Ramzes x bloodline later splits up into two main streams: From Holstein, the Raimond Ramiro branch was widely distributed not only nation-wide, but world-wide. The other branch established itself enduringly using Westphalia as a base, through the Radetzky progeny, via Remus 1.- Romulus 1 - Romadour II. The phenomenon that the Holstein Ramzes x progeny were overwhelmingly showjumpers, whereas the Westphalian offspring‘s main forte was foremost in advanced dressage (Ramus /Harry Boldt, Mariano / Dr. Josef Neckermann, Tiga / Heinz Lamrners) has continued with a few exceptions from the F1 generation, up to the present day.
